Tooled Up Education

The digital world has much to offer in terms of learning, resources and building relationships, but we all know it has a darker side too.

Safer Internet Day 2025 on February 11th is a global initiative that encourages individuals, schools, and organisations to engage in discussion about protecting personal information, combating cyberbullying, and fostering responsible internet use. It aims to help users of all ages make informed choices in order to navigate the online world safely. 

At Tooled Up we’ve always delved deep into the research on internet safety, and our plethora of resources cover every angle from parental controls and social media, to deepfakes and doxing.

Digital Risks and Harms: Fresh Insights shares the latest research on how children use the internet, and the harms they can be exposed to. In this webinar, Professor Aiman El Asam guides us through the results of the Cybersurvey, an ongoing piece of research with young people in the UK reporting on their online experiences. 

There are a number of downloadable resources included in Raising a Child in the Digital Age that encourage parents to consider what a healthy online life looks like, and the role that the internet plays in children’s lives as they grow up. 

If your child has access to a device, should you try to control what they view? Researcher Dr Maria Stoilova of the London School of Economics joined us for this fascinating podcast on the Pros and Cons of Parental Controls.

Finally, this popular webinar asks What Exactly is a Smartphone-Free Childhood? Dr Kathy Weston discusses important questions about screen time and the rationale behind delaying children’s transition into the online world.
